<< We are humankind and we have but two genders, male and female. >>

PoMo babbling PC Rubbish.

We are MANKIND and we are but two SEXES, male and female.

Except for those pushing the deviate's barrow, "gender" applies only to the inanimate -- and usually to parts of language.

[Duke Nukum]

Whate'er is born of mortal birth,
Must be consumed with the earth,
To rise from generation free:
Then what have I to do with thee?
The sexes sprang from shame and pride,
Blown in the morn, in evening died;
But Mercy changed death into sleep;
The sexes rose to work and weep.
--Blake

[mrustow]

Lovely essay, but for one defect: she was crushed under a pillar of feminist dogma.

"We are humankind and we have but two genders, male and female."

Mankind has no genders; only languages have genders, and English doesn't even have them. Mankind has two sexes.

[Lindykim]

Brian...We are MANKIND and we are but two SEXES, male and female.


From Noah Websters "American Dictionary Of The English Language" 1828:

Gender: 1. Properly, kind; sort
2. A sex, male or female,

Humankind: The race of man, mankind, the human species


Before you open your ugly mouth to lambaste another author, as you did this one, I suggest you check
your facts lest you make a fool of yourself once again.

[Brian Allen]

What part of
We are MANKIND and we are but two SEXES, MALE and female
are you having the most difficulty with you obviously mean-spirited envy-motivated, hatred-engined and rage-driven, perversion-pushing, abomination-adulating and deviancy-promulgating English-Language-bastardizing ugly-mouthed lambasting fool?

Must be a misunderstanding between you two, I cant figure why, you're both on the same team. What gives?

We are humankind and we have but two genders, male and female.
We are MANKIND and we are but two SEXES, male and female.

Both sentences have the same meaning. IMO

[Lindykim]

snip..."What gives?"


Good question. His attack is irrational.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Good question. His attack is irrational.

BA has been a FReeper for a long time, he's on our team. There's a misunderstanding somewhere, You sure you didn't fire the first shot?

[Lindykim]

No, I didn't fire the first shot.
Personally, I have no idea what set him off. But I did react to his initial 'shot'. Check post 21, the "first shot"....

It sure sounds as though he's accusing the author of "pushing the deviate's barrow"
